Ryoji Ikeda at Melbourne Town Hall

Not only did Ryoji Ikeda made a killer album with Ultratonics, he also designed a killer show to go with it, using a huge, hyper-bright screen blasting intense geometric or data-related visuals he made himself to my understanding. A stunning assault on the senses.

K Mak at the Melbourne Planetarium

Australian singer K Mak came to play at the Melbourne Planetarium and immerse us in atmospheric visuals. Every gig should be like this, really.

Floating Points at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl

For the one-day Freeform festival, Floating Points to play live and he delivered an amazing gig in a packed Sidney Myer Music Bowl. That was beautiful.
